WOW! Romney's son says Mitt never wanted to be president anyway!

If you thought the tale of how Mitt Romney lost the general election was already told, you would be wrong. Because there is so much left to tell, like how Mitt never wanted to be President anyway.

At least, that's what Tagg Romney says in this new Boston Globe report on what went wrong with Romney's campaign. While the rest of the piece seems to say the problems lay in the Romney campaign's lack of technical advantage, and refusal to introduce the world to Mitt Romney, the human being, this little morsel from the Republican's son points to a larger problem:

“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire to . . . run,” said Tagg, who worked with his mother, Ann, to persuade his father to seek the presidency. “If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside.

Romneys main flaw was his innate comfort. He already is wealthy and happy, therefore somewhat difficult to control from the standpoint of those who create and control presidents. He would have been like Reagan except more scrupulous which is another problem.

That's funny, because everything else I read before this described Romney as being a "man on a mission" and being "single-minded" and "dedicating himself" and spent "millions of his own money" in his quest to be president.

His son is engaging in historical revisionism at its most pathetic. Romney's obsession with getting the Presidency is well known.

seriously from my persepctive , romney had the holes pre-drilled into his limbs ready for the strings with which to operate him

if ever there was an individual more puppet like than him it would have been reagan imo

and i thought the world was introduced quite enough to mitters and wisely said no

some say it was the dead eyes but maybe they are wrong and it was, as you say , his 'scruples' which caused him to fail

but at the end of the day , he did fail and if he didn't want it , then maybe that's for the best
